Since watermark could be compared or set to garbage due to a data race
which would change the code logic, fix it by adding a pair of READ_ONCE()
and WRITE_ONCE() in those places.

The "failcnt" counter is tolerant of some degree of inaccuracy and is only
used to report stats, a data race will not be harmful, thus mark it as an
intentional data race using the data_race() macro.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
